Family, Friends and Support Groups Add Picture Messaging to Inspire and Motivate - Anywhere, Anytime

Posted on: Monday, 25 February 2008, 06:00 CST

BOSTON, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Cell phones have become integral to our ability to communicate effectively. Connecting is immediate and often location independent. Connecting can be intimate and sometimes even profound. And now connecting can be more visually engaging with new MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) technology used by family, friends and support networks to inspire, motivate or simply make someone smile.

MMS is basically the multimedia equivalent of the hugely popular text messaging. A new online application offered by Cellyspace enables users to upload, edit, crop and compose their own image and audio files into meaningful messages. Up to 8 slides can be sent, including audio, video, text and images. For details visit http://www.cellyspace.com/help.

"Creating thoughtful messages can have an immediate and emotional impact on that special person at that special time, especially when received on their mobile phone," says Rich Eicher, President of Skycore LLC, developers of Cellyspace.

Suggestions for using MMS to inspire include: * The Parental Connection -- Texting "teen-speak" isn't necessary, let an image tell the story. * Emotional Support -- Show support, especially at the time when it's needed the most. * The Guardian Angel -- Spiritual reflection can inspire both content creator and receiver. * Motivation -- Emphasizing positive thinking can really make a difference. * The Wingman -- A guy's way to show support for a friend. * Humor -- There's always time for a funny picture, joke or story. * Reassurance -- Foster confidence and determination. * Congratulations -- Everyone likes praise, there's no limit. * 'I Love You' Message -- Send anytime, no need to wait for a special occasion. * Scheduled Alerts -- Reminders are useful for all, not just for teens and the elderly.

With Cellyspace there are no subscription charges and content is created, edited, converted and stored online at no charge. After a free trial, MMS messages cost 20 cents each to send. In addition to its composing tools, Cellyspace also offers free publishing and broadcast tools which can be used by support groups, content providers and publishers. The contact email address is info@cellyspace.com.
